This question is easily researchable and doesn't require real pilots
experiences.

Absolutely researchable. All you have to do is remember the fighter pilot's
golden rule on drinking and flying.
"NEVER drink and fly!!! Pull off the taxiway as you're on the way out to the
runway and drink, THEN go fly!!!"
:-)))))))

And, when I was flying KC135's, we rigidly adhered to the rule: "No
smoking 8 hours before flying, and no drinking closer than 80 feet from
the aircraft."

That rule made us better at the job we did. I think.

Hi Walt;

It's indeed a fairly little known fact outside the military aviation
community that we who flew the "smaller" though somewhat "faster" bits of
Plexiglas and aluminum learned all our REAL bad habits from you multi guys!!

I recall a few years ago at Davis Monthan when within a few minutes after
entering the club, there was a food fight in progress and wrestling going on
the floor. Later in the evening I offered to buy one of the pilots a shot if
he would let me drop a live mark 84 (2000 lb) bomb on the range in the
morning.

He said: "sure doc, no problem". Unfortunately, there was a staff pilot
weenie (mutually disliked by all of the pilots) who ratted me out. I have
never seen so many memos generated in such a short amount of time! I had to
promise to never drop live ordinance again. However, I did not promise to
forego firing the vulcan canon or launching missiles.

I rode in the back with the same weenie on a six ship, and he was 20 miles
into the range before I asked him whether we were cleared, as a gentle
reminder in true CRM style (which we were not, and the range was still hot).
He blustered his way in while the previous guys exited, but that became
another bar story.

Bottom line: breathing 100 percent oxygen under positive pressure really
helps a hangover.

Nope, fixed-wing, AC119K. But we tried desperately to be as crazy as
you guys were.

Good to hear, Dudley. It's good to know that when you guys were behind
us, hooked up, that we were not just passing on fuel but some of our
core values too.

Man, I used to hear rules like that all the time -- and I'm a Mormon!

At least no one has mentioned the deceased insect.

I remember one time in front of the President of the United States; somebody
hollered "Thunderbirds...dead ant!!!"
You wouldn't believe the United States Air Force Thunderbirds... to a
man...down on their butts...arms and legs in the air.
God, I miss the good ole days!!! :-))))
